Dr. Witt was a new doctor for me, so I've only seen her a few times. But I'll tell you what, after the third time that I've now seen her, I very much trust her. And I think she's great. She does ask a lot of questions, and she's very insightful, and also very caring, and it's not for show. I mean, she's definitely someone who does want to get to know her patients really well and do the best that she can for them. And I think that that's great. And so I'm very pleased, and that's the reason why I wanted to leave you a voice recommendation. So thank you so much. You guys all do a great job. To be honest with you, they all do a fantastic job at that office. I don't know how they do it. I certainly would not want that job. So that's what I think. I think they're great. Thank you. Bye-bye.

- Reviewed on 12/15/2025
this was a first visit so not enough feedback yet to provide a proper evaluation of the level of care, just not enough time to discuss what I am going through in more details and being offered resolutions to my current issues simply because the time of visit is limited. I am aware that the 30min limit to each visit is not a deliberate choice of the care provider but a consequence of the high demand therefore I can not judge the level of care based on the time allocated to my visit.
